John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) will receive an unexpected proposal from Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) in Hollyoaks next week when the serial killer gets down on one knee to pop the question.
The Hollyoaks high deputy head grows rather concerned about how little he and Jez are communicating in upcoming scenes.
What with all the murders, not to mention Ste Hay’s (Kieron Richardson) accusations of him being a killer, Jez has been somewhat preoccupied in recent weeks – and it certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed by John Paul.
Little does John Paul know, however, that Jez is seeing new therapist Tommy (Brandon Fellows) and, during the sessions, the gardener opens up about his past relationship with Patrick, detailing his inability to confide in people after his twin brother stole the love of his life.
Tommy, who is somewhat distracted during the session after he made a pass at Leela Dexter (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) previously, listens intently and subsequently offers advice, encouraging Jez to make things work with John Paul.
Such advice leaves the killer with food for thought and therefore he decides to take action, acquiring an engagement ring.
Wanting to show John Paul just how much he cares, he then gets down on one knee and proposes to his beau right outside the hospital.
John Paul is rendered well and truly speechless. The question is: will he say yes?
Jez, as viewers know, has claimed the lives of countless people over the years, with Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) and Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) having recently been added to the list.
If John Paul says yes, will he find himself in danger of becoming the next victim of the killer? Or does Jez care too much about JP to allow such a thing to happen?
You’ll just have to keep watching to find out.
Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 7am on Channel 4’s streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.
